Chen had a 3-1 chip lead over Michael Bennington when heads-up play began, and Bennington was never able to close the gap.

The final hand of the tournament came when Chen pushed all-in pre-flop over the top of a Bennington three-bet. Bennington decided to make the call holding pocket Threes, while Chen triumphantly turned over his pocket Nines.

The board ran out Kc-8d-2h-Jc-Ac, and Benny Chen was declared the winner.
